Columbus woman charged with reckless homicide following Saturday shooting
COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) -- A Columbus woman is in custody following a shooting death in northeast Columbus Saturday morning.
Shirldenna Featherstone, 19, is charged with reckless homicide after police found Tahvon Ford dead from a gunshot wound.
According to court documents, Featherstone told police she accidentally shot Ford while the two were looking at a rifle. Featherstone, who was identified as Ford's girlfriend in court documents, called 911 and attempted CPR until officers arrived.
Shawno, a friend of Ford's who did not give his last name, described Ford as his "best friend, brother, left hand, twin flame and dice twin" and told NBC4 Ford would be missed dearly.
"Tahvon had a real genuine soul and lit every room he stepped in," he said.
Featherstone is scheduled for an arraignment this Monday.
